Hire Across Asia Pacific with One Coordinated Workforce Partner
Coordinating hiring across multiple APAC markets is one of the more demanding challenges in regional HR. Labour laws differ. Candidate expectations vary. Timelines do not always align. And managing multiple recruitment or payroll vendors across several countries introduces its own complexity. PERSOL APAC's Regional Talent Solutions (RTS) was built to solve exactly this. With 80+ offices across 13 APAC markets, we offer global and regional HR teams a single coordinated partner who delivers local expertise in every country, without the overhead of managing a different vendor in each one.
PERSOL Malaysia is part of the PERSOL Group, one of Asia Pacific's largest workforce solutions organisations, with operations across China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand. That network is not a referral arrangement. Our in-country teams are PERSOL employees, operating with shared standards, shared systems, and a culture of collaboration. RTS is suited to global or regional HR teams managing simultaneous headcounts across multiple countries, MNCs expanding into new APAC markets, and organisations that strives for consistent HR standards across the region without running a different process in every location.
Built for Regional HR Teams
One Point of Coordination, Across All Markets
A dedicated regional talent advisor is assigned to support you to develop a tailored Regional Talent Solution best suited for your organisational needs and priorities. You do not need to negotiate contract with multiple suppliers in each market or translate different reporting formats into something usable. A consolidated Regional Talents Solution via PERSOL APAC.
Real In-Country Expertise, Not Just Regional Presence
Our in-country teams bring real knowledge on local labour regulations, active candidate networks, real-time salary data, and a genuine understanding of how hiring works in their market. That matters when candidate expectations in Vietnam look very different from those in Singapore, or when what it takes to attract engineering talent in Malaysia differs from Indonesia. Our strong knowledge of local culture, labour regulations and talent dynamics enable us to give our clients a competitive advantage and peace of mind.
Consistent Standards, Market by Market
The Regional Talents Solution (RTS) is designed to ensure quality service delivery across all markets. We apply a consistent search and assessment framework across all markets, while incorporating the local nuances. A talent request in Kuala Lumpur is held to the same quality standard as one in Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh City. Global or Regional HR leaders can trust the process without having to repeating your standard company’s requirements countryby-country.
APAC Market Intelligence
RTS clients have access to PERSOL APAC’s annual Industry Insight Report covers workforce trends, salary benchmarks, and talent availability across 13 APAC markets and key sectors. This intelligence equips you with the current market reality. Knowing the market before you enter it makes every hiring decision more grounded.
Flexible Commercial Models
From project-based recruitment in multiple markets to RPO solution, longer term staff augmentation workforce solution to regional MSP program, we structure engagements around your actual hiring volume, timelines, and budget.
